We have found the 'problem' for this.  Its basically the bug listed at
http://www.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=30694

On the pppoe howto at http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/network/pppoe/ it
lists the command "ifconfig pppoe0 inet 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.1 down" as one of the
commands to initiate a pppoe connection.  As stated in the bug above, the
"down" part of the ifconfig line is not recognized, and the pppoe commands
that follow wont work with the pppoe interface being up.

A simple fix is to issue the command "ifconfig pppoe0 down" after typing the
inet 0.0.0.0 line in.  This will ensure that the pppoe0 interface is down
and the remaining pppoe connection commands will initiate a valid pppoe0
session.

This is for netbsd 3.0.  And will hopefully help out with any other pppoe
users that might come across this.

Thanks to Martin H. for helping out. :-)  And hope this makes sense. :)
